We spontaneously decided to stay for 2,5 days at this beautiful place, before we drove back to germany! Silvio and Tiziana are so accommodating and their hospitality was outstanding! We enjoyed in those to days i think nearly the whole bandwidth of the culinary art of Piemont!! I really like their philosophy how to live life and I absolutely recommend everyone to go there for a visit! :-)

Silvio and his wife Tiziana were fantastic hosts. Silvio served us his fine wines and gave us great recommendations for places to visit in the area. He can communicate in many languages and is a really sweet and fun person. Tiziana is the most amazing cook, I would definitely recommend to pay for the menu they offer at least once, it is more than worth the price both in quality and quantity, believe me! The place is a bit hard to find if you just stick to (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) Maps, views are really lovely and the area in general is just great.

We had a fantastic stay with Silvio and Tiziana! The agriturismo is just gorgeous - the room was beautiful and comfortable, and we had a lovely relaxing day at the pool. We also were invited to join Silvio, Tiziana, and everyone who was visiting for the grape harvest for lunch, which was delicious and one of the most memorable experiences of our trip. The wine produced at the vineyard is so delicious, we brought 6 bottles back to the U.S. with us! I cannot recommend staying here enough - it is worth scheduling your trip around!

Silvio and Tiziana made us feel very welcome. We loved staying here and the views are fantastic (as are Silvio's wines!). This is beautiful, unspoilt Italy and we liked staying as the atmosphere was very relaxing. The room was very clean and the pool was great also. Definitely worth visiting!

We had a wonderful time at Tiziana's and Silvio's lovely place. We were made very welcome by them both. The location is beautiful and the hotel/ house has everything that you need. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner cooked by Tiziana and shared another dinner with them both and their friends. There are other villages close by that are nice to explore.

La Rocca is picturesquely situated in rural northern Piemonte wine region...
an hour southwest of Milan
an hour north of the beautiful Mediterranean
an hour south of the Alps
a few hours from the French border
Perfectly located, make La Rocca your home away from home as you explore the splendors of northern Italy.
Tracey, born and raised in the United States, arrived in Italy in '89 and has never left....her passions for Italy equal her passions for sharing the enchanting Monferrato hills with her guests.
Her children, Nico and Eleonora, welcome guests with open arms...great translators too. Happy to help guest in any way!

We had a wonderful stay at Tracey's B&B. Not only is the property beautiful, but Tracey is a fantastic host. The apartments are nestled between the vineyards and the rolling hills of Piemonte, giving the place all the Italian charm one can hope for. The place is clean and decorated in tasteful Italian country style. Tracey is so friendly and we enjoyed talking with her over a delicious breakfast. It is also an easy walk from the village. We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this place!

We had a wonderful time at Tracey's. Honestly, there's nothing bad to say. Beautiful property, nice attached apartment with space for all 6 of us and a wood fire to keep us warm. Would absolutely love to stay here in the warmer season, but happy just to have experienced it. Do not hesitate to book with Tracey... You'd be making a mistake if you didn't stay here. Highly recommend!!

DaveMarch 2016

Tracy has created a wonderful place. The apartment is decorated with love, the fire place keeps you warm in the night and produces a romantic atmosphere, the landscape and the vineyard outside are amazing and Tracey's hospitality is warmly and generous. To have breakfast at her kitchen table makes you feel like being at home. We will come back, for sure!!

We had a great stay at Tracy and Ela's :-) Lovely people! And with some great recommendations- would definitely recommend anyone to stay here!

Cecilia July 2016

We had a lovely time at Tracy's place. It was very beautiful and we felt very welcomed there. Tracey organised things for us to do like wine tasting and a lovely Italian dinner. She also gave us recommendations of where to go for the rest of our trip. Great hospitality and gorgeous house and surroundings.

VictoriaJuly 2016

Wonderful place and Tracey and family were adorable. Perfect location to visit Piemont.

The place is amazing, real old world Italy. Gorgeous setting and spectacular views. It really does look like the pictures. It's a little hard to find in the tiny old village and (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) is no help, we needed to ask several locals to get there, but well worth it if you like original, ancient places. The rooms are what you'd expect in an old castle, but well equipped with nice bathrooms. Be prepared for no air-conditioning though. Chat with the vintner and he'll sell you a bottle of his local wine! Loved it and I loved that area of Italy.

After we parked the car in the spacious lot across her home. Michela welcomed us with a (fluent in English) friend, because her English was as good as our Italian ;) He translated everything during a brief tour of the house. The remainder of our stay we communicated with our hands, feet& (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN)-translate, which made for a fun& interesting stay. Michela is a very friendly host and did everything in her power to make our stay one to remember. She pointed us to the best local food in town and even taxied us to our friends weddingparty in a neighbouring village. We ended a brilliant weddingday at the local bar with her and her friends. Can recommend her to everyone!

Nice room with a nice view of the vineyard. The beds were comfortable, the Kitchen was adequate for our basic needs. the bathroom was large but could use improvements in . the plumbing. Tracy was an exceptional and cheerful host. She happily helped in planning our itinerary and quickly responded to our text messages when we needed her advice.

Loved it. Through enjoyed the place and its surrounding. Lots of light, big windows and open space. My dog loved it as she was free to roam freely. Tracy was very welcoming and friendly. A minor issue was the bathroom being chilly at night, having a portable heater in there would have been great. Would definitely return to this place during summer if driving to Italy again.

We loved our stay at La Rocca in Vignale Monferrato. The villa itself is charming, clean, and has everything one might need. The terrace has an incredible view on the vineyards and the beautiful panorama in the background. If you're coming by car, parking will not be an issue. Tracy was extremely welcoming and we can highly recommend the breakfast which was delicious and gave us the opportunity to soak in all of her recommendations for activities and restaurants in the area. Thank you, Tracy!

We had a fantastic 7 days staying at Tracey's in her beautiful villa. A previous post had referred to minor plumbing issues, but these have all been fixed. The breakfasts were prompt, tasty and fun. The area is remarkably appealing with friendly rural people, great but modestly priced restaurants. Tracey herself was the true priceless resource of our stay, with great area information, driving directions, restaurant, event, and attraction advice. Tracey even helped by driving with us to the area truffle festival. We hope to be able to visit Larroca again. Phil and Mary

Our experience at Tracey's little piece of Italian paradise was indescribable. The villa was breathtaking, the views overlooking the vineyards and rolling hills from the terrace while sipping a glass of local barbera were out of this world. The villa was bright and romantic and the perfect space for a couple to enjoy. The village was quaint and quiet with plenty of delicious dining options for the evenings. Tracey herself was the icing on the cake - she was an exceptional host, going above and beyond to help us enjoy a perfect weekend. We can't wait to return!

SophiaMay 2016

Tracey`s B&B is much nicer than the already attractive photos show, it is very tastefully decorated, and she is an amazing host, with many suggestions to make your stay in this extraordinary location quite memorable. The area is perfect for some country strolls, has great food, and is a welcome change from other areas that are overrun with tourists. If you want to enjoy the charm of rural Italy, this is the right place. There are a number of wonderful cities within driving distance, so you will need a car. Well worth the visit, thank you

Piera greeted us in the traditional Italian manner & from that point we felt welcomed to La Casa nel Vento & to the locality of Vignale. Piera & Eraldo ensured that we were introduced to the Piedmonte region; this was especially relevant to our travelling experience as Australian vignerons. The Casa offered exceptional views of the UNESCO heritage listed Barbera vineyards, the Alps on the horizon, as well as iconic views of the hilltop village of Vignale. The UNESCO heritage listing was important to us as it has resonances with our local plans for UNESCO listing. We encourage other Adelaide Hills wine/ food producers to visit & explore the possibilities. The accommodation at La Casa nel Vento exceeded our expectations; both in terms of privacy & attention to detail, as well as catering and help from our hosts when planning local excursions. Thank you Peira & Eraldo for ensuring that our Piedmonte visit was memorable & we have not hesitation in recommending La Casa nel Vento to future visitors. Jillian & Gerald Clark

The Farmstead is structured in a typical “a corte” configuration and it’s located in a very beautifull area that has been recently nominated from UNESCO Human Heritage. Here you can enjoy a real great view of the Monferrato’s hills and the Alps.

In the Farmstead and in the farmyard you can relax your mind tanks to a very quite atmosphere, far from traffic and noise, in a frame of hills grown with vineyard, orchard, and market garden.
Being inside the old village, close by you can reach all the major facilities you need.
In order to assure to the guests the maximum comfort, a dedicated area on one side of the Farmstead has been partially renovated.
The kitchen, guest reserved, is at the ground floor and it is fully dedicated to prepare the breakfast that will be served in the adjacent dining room.
At the first floor two comfortable double rooms have been renovated and furnished with some old family furniture. Both rooms have private bathrooms
Both bedrooms are supplied with hot water, radio, full bathroom with shower and/or bath tube.
Air conditioning available in one bedroom.
Use of Internet wireless, washing machine, refrigerator/freezer, TV, iron, first aid box and Ping-Pong is free of charge.
Areas reserved to guests are the followings:
Dining room and reading room, garden,and external area with the Pergola and ping pong.

This land is suitable for tracking, mountain biking and horseback tours in the tracks around the hills.
In Moncalvo, near Vignale, you can utilise the equipment of the sportive centre with the swimming pool, tennis grounds, football grounds, volley, field hockey, cycle-path.
Close by Fubine (~ 8 km from Vignale), you can play Golf in the beautiful green of the GOLF CLUB MARGARA .
Nevertheless the traditional sports of this area are the so called Tamburello a Muro and the Pantalera (also named Pallone Elastico) and are both played in the “Sferisterio”.
In the Bars, spaghetterie, wine bars, located in Vignale and neighbourhoods it is possible to get a very good meal.
The ANTICOBORGO is located in Vignale at the top of a hill, at 308 mt. above the sea level, in the middle of the Monferrato land.
From Vignale you can reach Alessandria, Asti and Casale Monferrato in about 20 minutes by car.
You can reach easily Vignale going along the so-called “wine motorway” (A21); we suggest to take the “Felizzano” exit and follow the indication towards Alessandria; after almost 1,5 Km at the first roundabout turn left (SP 77). Follow the Vignale indication and drive for approximately 15 Km.

I'd rather prefer to keep this place a secret: a paradise of quiet, nature, food and wine. No thing to spoil this experience: not even the morning rain prevented us from swimming in the pool! P-e-r-f-e-c-t! Grazie mille per questo breve soggiorno paradisiaco! A presto!

If you haven't been here yet you have to come and experience this little bit of heaven! What supposed to be just a place to sleep in over the weekend turned to be an amazing place where you can relax while eating & drinking like a king! Silvio & Tiziana really do love what they do, you cannot find better hosts!

DariuszJuly 2016

It was a great stay at Tiziana's and Silvio's place. All brand new, beautiful and comfortable. We fell in love with the village, the swimming pool, the wine and the food. We felt very welcome and everybody did an amazing job to make our stay absolutely perfect. Grazi Mille! Ciao!!

Luisa was a very welcoming host. We had a wonderful week in a lovely large house and a beautiful garden with stunning views. Within walking distance to the bar, cafés, pizzeria, restaurants and well-stocked little shop in the piazza. Gulliver supermarket a few minutes by car. Vignale and surrounding area delightful.
